how did we get so hot in March 1990 without a higher AO?

 

The AO played a prominent role. For February, the AO averaged +3.440. For March, it averaged +2.990. February closed with a very strong AO+ regime (+5.911 on February 26) and the AO remained strongly positive through March 30. A strong PNA- pattern developed after the first week of March and this could have been the trigger for the sequence of events that culminated in the exceptional warmth that occurred near mid-March.

Overall, the exceptional heat occurred within an enduring pattern that favored above to much above normal temperatures with only short breaks of colder weather (2/25-3/9 cool period but a smaller number of days with much below normal temperatures).

Select NYC Data:

February 1-24: Mean Temperature: 42.2°; Days 50° or above: 15; Days 60° or above: 4

Agree-a heck of a 3 week run in Feb and the big Dec storm.  Take it and run if that's it.

Can’t complain with a widespread 12-18” event for the NYC area and 24-30” in N NJ along with several other significant events. I’d have to give this winter a solid B/B+. The bad January keeps it from being an A, and generally this was an above average snow winter but not massively so (out in the Allentown area different story). I have about 40” on the nose which is probably 8” above average.

1990-91 was one of our warmest periods on record, especially for that era
